For Worcester's five high schools, White estimated the cost of installing metal detector systems would run from $73,000 to $91,250. He noted given the school populations, four or five units would likely be needed to move students through in the morning. One handheld wand per unit is also included in the price.
While metal detectors aren't particularly common in public schools, both Springfield and Boston public schools use metal detectors in some forms. Michael White, eastern region director from Security Detection based in Holliston that services both the Boston and Springfield school districts, said new machines cost an average of $3,500 a piece, with handheld wands costing $150.
